And I replied: I do not say this. Rather, those who have persecuted and still persecute Christ, and do not repent, shall inherit nothing in the holy mountain. But the nations who have believed in Him and have repented of the sins they committed—these shall inherit together with the patriarchs and the prophets and the righteous who are descended from Jacob; even though they neither keep the Sabbath nor are circumcised nor observe the feasts, they shall most certainly inherit the holy inheritance of God.
For God speaks thus through Isaiah: I the Lord God have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand and strengthen You; and I have given You for a covenant of the people, for a light of the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to lead out from their bonds those who are bound, and from the prison-house those who sit in darkness.
And again: Lift up a signal to the nations. For behold, the Lord has made it heard to the end of the earth: Say to the daughters of Zion, Behold, your Saviour has come, having His reward with Him, and His work before His face. And He shall call them a holy people, redeemed by the Lord; and you shall be called a city sought out and not forsaken. Who is this that comes from Edom, the redness of His garments from Bozrah? This one, beautiful in His robe, ascending with might in His strength? It is I who speak righteousness and the judgment of salvation.
Why are Your garments red, and Your clothing as if from a winepress that is trodden? I have trodden the winepress quite alone, full of those trampled down, and of the nations there is not a man with Me; and I trampled them down in My wrath, and crushed them like earth, and brought down their blood to the ground. For the day of recompense has come upon them, and the year of redemption is at hand. And I looked, and there was no helper; and I considered, and no one took hold to aid; and My arm delivered, and My wrath came upon them; and I trampled them in My anger, and brought down their blood to the ground.
